Yes I remember the snow in 2010, if my memory serves me right we had 2 or 3 years in a row where at some point we had some settled snow and for one of the years it hung around too, I think the problem this country has with only intermittent snow is a lack of proper snow clearing equipment - I don't think councils want to fork out on snow ploughs when they might not be used at all for years on end, this means that when it does come the country descends into chaos! It wasn't until after I married my ex (Croatian lady) that I learnt that in continental Europe they have different tyres on their cars for Summers and Winters (yes I know I was a bit slow on that one).
Do English councils not have snowplows? My council has a truck that acts as a salter and a snowplow at the same time.
I haven't seen it pass my house in about a year though. It's been extremely mild as of late.
Cold last night across parts of the UK, N.I as usual a mild beacon glowing compared to the rest of the the UK... Still no sub zero temperatures recorded in Portsmouth yet, lowest so far in the city centre is 0.4C & in Southsea 1.8C...
Yeah, snow ploughs have gone up my street before. They're based at my local park. I remember taking some pictures of ploughed snow in 2013, I'll try to dig them out (no pun intended).
I live in Southern England, they get NO snow, just what Easthome alluded to earlier. NI received some snow about a month ago.
What snow has most of England received in this mild winter? None?
